Berk and Jack Videos

Here are two videos, both from last night. The one Berk is her singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and Jack is of him laughing from me tickling him! Thought everyone might enjoy these! I will post again tomorrow of the SWINGSET that is in full operation now! Oh, and Berk Tate turns TWO on Sunday! Craziness! Hope you enjoy the videos!

Forgetful

Ok, so I don't know HOW I forget these pictures (that were taken at the BEGINNING of August), but I did! One of Gran's friends' daughter has a horse and Berkley is OBSESSED with riding a pony (goes back to the Science Spectrum this summer!) So, we thought it would be fun to let Berk go riding with Kara Beth one day this summer. Well the day came and we went out to their farm and Berk just had a time! She loved being out there and loved all the animals around! I would LOVE to live out in the country one day on a spread and have animals, but we will have to wait and see. Here are some pictures of Berk Tate and her pony-riding experience!

8/4/10...petting one of the dogs

8/4/10....Love this shot!

8/4/10...Especially love this one!

8/4/10...She wanted to ride them all!

8/4/10...Round one with Kara Beth; she was NOT a fan of riding WITH someone....In fact she wanted to get off!! So we tried it another way....

8/4/10....Awww yes, much better!

8/4/10...doesn't she look like a natural?!

8/4/10...I'm pretty sure Berk would agree with me on the moving out to the country and getting a whole slew of animals!

8/4/10....And of course we would HAVE to have one of these!

8/4/10....Doesn't she look pooped?! But she wouldn't stop talking about it for days and still thinks that everytime we get in the car we are going to ride ponies with Kara Beth!

First Half of August

Well August is here and it is almost gone....and with August comes back to school and one month until Berk is TWO YEARS OLD! To get her in the "birthday mood" we went to our nephew Jayden's first birthday the second weekend in August. I can't believe our "babies" are getting so big! Berk loved all of the birthday festivities and I can't wait to see her at her own! Jack is getting HUGE and we can't believe that he is already 5 months old! He probably weighs around 20 lbs. and is every bit of it! His legs are like tree trunks,, but he is the sweetest boy! He is eating great and has started the fruits! So far he has had apples, bananas and is currently on pears. He will go to peaches and then prunes and then we will be clear of the fruits and vegetables and he can move on to the GOOD stuff i.e. hawaiian delight and strawberries and bananas! He is wearing 6-9 month clothes and the few 3-6 month clothes he can fit into are VERY SNUG (especially around the booty area!) He is also teething and is loving his thumb! (Or anything for that matter!) They are doing great with getting back into a school routine since these last two weeks have been inservice. It's still hard to believe that our first summer with two babies has FLOWN by! I can't wait to see what next summer has in store for us! There are tons of pictures from Jayden's party (of course not all of them), some pictures that I took of Rachel and Jayden and then some snapshots of hte stinkers! Hope this gets your caught up! I will try to get back into the groove of updating this more often! Have a great rest of the week!
